Termitomyces is a genus of edible mushrooms commonly consumed in Africa and Asia among the mushrooms collected from the wild. Termitomyces mushrooms grow as symbionts in the termite nests, where they produce various enzymes to help termites digest lignocellulosic substrates. Many species of Termitomyces are used by different ethnic groups with ethnomedicinal knowledge. Bioactive components that Termitomyces mushrooms contain have potential uses as antioxidants, immunomodulators, antitumors, and antimicrobials. Termitomyces also has a potential for treating neurodegenerative disorders. Here, we review the bioactive compounds from Termitomyces species that have been isolated and assayed in vitro and/or in vivo for their medicinal properties.
美味牛肝菌是一种可食用的蘑菇，在非洲和亚洲，人们常从野外采集的蘑菇中食用它。美味牛肝菌作为共生体生长在白蚁巢中，它们产生各种酶来帮助白蚁消化木质纤维素基质。许多美味牛肝菌物种被具有民族医学知识的不同族群使用。美味牛肝菌中含有的生物活性成分具有作为抗氧化剂、免疫调节剂、抗肿瘤和抗微生物的潜在用途。美味牛肝菌也有可能用于治疗神经退行性疾病。在这里，我们综述了已从美味牛肝菌物种中分离出来的生物活性化合物，并在体外和/或体内对其药用特性进行了检测。
